No Turning Back A Witness to Mercy edition by Donald Calloway MIC Religion Spirituality eBooks
Warfare - spiritual combat on full display - in one of the most striking personal narratives of our age. Because so many themes emerge in this story, they are more clearly grasped by topic: courage and tragedy, adventure and mishaps, drift and decisive action, surrender and triumph. Father Donald Calloway's conversion from rebellious teen to Catholic Priest speaks to the heart in a style reminiscent of the great epic heroes of a past age, an age of Knights and Chivalry who pledge their lives to defend the honor of their Lady.It is a sad fact that many of us rebel as teens, turning away from God in pursuit of one's identity. The world with its MTV culture is all too willing to offer a fix for the itch of adolescence - drugs, the Grateful Dead, and promiscuity. There are occasions when the "normal" teenage rebellion amplifies into a self-wounding journey into darkness and despair. This fascinating and daring spiritual biography should be required reading for parents, teachers, and all teenagers because in its pages one finds a reflection of those interior struggles so prominent in our culture today. The glamour of hedonism, the lie of atheism, and rampant self-absorption collide with the saving truth of the Holy Gospel through the mediation of the Great Mother of God Mary Most Holy. The message of Divine Mercy soaks each page as the spiritual battle unfolds.
Catholics will discover a lasting treasure of conversion and redemption through Father Calloway's riveting prose and a resource for evangelization and outreach to those who may be trapped in the damp chill of sin.
Above all, this is a story of heroic love that conquers the heart.
Bravo, Father Calloway, bravo!!!

No Turning Back A Witness to Mercy edition by Donald Calloway MIC Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I am a huge supporter of Father Calloway, the Marian priest for our age. Although it is an autobiography, the format sometimes uncomfortably laced with what could be interpreted as pride. I trust Father Calloway does not have this issue; however, its presentation can be interpreted as such.
In my opinion, this would be amazing for a teenager or someone in their Twenties that has lost their way.
INCREDIBLE STORY!!! I simply couldn't put this book down. If you're a parent with a wayward child, you MUST read Father Calloway's inspiring and amazing autobiography. If you're a teen struggling with sin, this book can truly turn your life around. If you're a Catholic simply wanting an un-put-down-able story, look no further. This is a beautiful and memorable tribute to the Blessed Virgin's motherly love and God's unfailing mercy and grace. One of the best books I've ever read.
The violence is described as if being told by a witness. On the sexual content, it is implied. There is no actual act. This book is amazing. To see the radical tranformation of one who was so messed up to someone who is so is on track grateful is inspiring. Father Calloway writes as if he is talking to a good friend. Father Calloway is very candid about his past life and how it affected those around him. This could be a life changing experience to anyone who has gone down the wrong road and feels that they cannot be saved. They can!
I enjoyed it so much, that I went ahead and bought Father Calloway's 2nd book, Champions of the Rosary The History and Heroes of a Spiritual Weapon. This book should be made into a movie.
The best conversion story I've read since reading Thomas Merton's "The Seven y Mountain" a quarter of a century ago. Comparisons to the conversion of Augustine are valid. Father Calloway has the humility to go into his sins, his life of sex, drugs, rock and roll, and crime. His acting out, his sorrows seemed to proceed from having three different fathers early on in the wake of his Mom's two divorces. As St. Augustine famously wrote, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you", so Father devastates the emptiness of much of what the world has to offer in a couple of key passages
"It dawned on me that since I was nine or 10 years old, I had put a lot of different things on my tongue looking for happiness. I had drunk a lot of different liquids looking for that eternal high, something that was 'more', something that would satisfy me forever. ... I had experienced every sensual satisfaction one could possibly have with a woman, I'd heard every kind of music, done every kind of drug, and at times I'd even had money. But in the end, it all seemed worthless. I always seemed to be back at nothing. Life sucked for me and I didn't want to go on with the charade any longer. ... Here was the answer. God! ... (He) invited me to partake of His very self, the food that brings eternal life and the drink that sustains. ... [T]he Eucharist sustains us; it's the bread of the holy. ... I knew the Church was like a hospital for ill people like me. Jesus was the doctor and the medication. And it is all free!" (PP. 172,151)
Born in 1972, Father is about 7 years younger than me. This book might be excellent to give to someone in their 40s or 50s, maybe a little older, maybe a little younger, whose conversion you are praying for, because of all the interesting cultural references Father makes. Some of these include
The Grateful Dead (PP. 113-119,124,158,177), Led Zeppelin (40,86,157), Bon Jovi (23,92), AC/DC (158), Tears For Fears (71), Pink Floyd (114), "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" (157), "E.T." (62), "Starsky & Hutch" (57), "The Shining" (148), "The Wizard Of Oz" (165), the video game "Frogger" (24), the Philadelphia 76ers (115), NASCAR (119), and many, many more.
Father has talent as a writer. Like a movie that starts with a chase and then flashes back, "No Turning Back" starts with a young Donald Calloway being chased through Japan by the authorities. The book is not boring. The early action hooks you in before Father starts to slow things down a bit by writing about the roots of his problems.
